From Mazeworld

Revision as of 14:06, 24 January 2014 by SU Tempest (Talk | contribs)

This page will list the changelogs for all previous versions of MazeWorld. To check the latest version's changes, and any upcoming changes in the future, please check the Changelog.

Post 2.5cookie changes

  • Modified the rules regarding ammo types for balance purposes.
  • The optional Scope mode ability of performing surgical strikes has been removed, in anticipation of new Scope effects coming in version 2.6.
  • The Pernach machine pistol is now correctly listed as having an integrated muzzle brake, to reflect the unique sliding barrel/gas port system which serve as recoil reduction devices.
  • The Barrett M82A1 was replaced by the Barrett M82A1M; essentially the same rifle, but with a long picatinny rail.
  • The FN F2000 is now correctly listed as having an integrated scope in lieu of an integrated reflex sight. The F2000's optic is an 1.6x telescopic sight.
  • Maze Customs: AKs no longer have 12 gauge-related options - chambering and stock/barrel length offerings related to shotgun configuration have all been removed. Consequently, the IZHMASH Saiga-12K is no longer part of the AK family.
  • Fixed the following errors and missing data:
  • Both types of Barracks are removed from Kennels, in order to prepare for changes upcoming in 2.6 related to the actual composition of a Barracks. In turn, those who had already completed either or both types as part of the requirements for Completionist are awarded 1 or 2 random visit badges among any they didn't have before, if applicable.
  • The FN Minimi can now correctly only fire in full-auto.
  • New secondary effect: Half melee damage, which now affects the Stab-proof vest.
  • The Nekomusume, a wicked youkai, has been scrapped.
  • All Desert Eagle variants (.357, .44, .50) are now compatible with the EOTech 512 after I just discovered that it was possible.
  • Many explosives, primarily hand grenades and rocket launchers, no longer have their critical failure type listed as "Catastrophic" (which would affect the user as though they were themselves hit directly by those weapons). They are now "Dud round". This was done in order to make the use of those weapons less risky and more reliable in general.
  • The Howa Type 89 is no longer compatible with the M203A1 (conflicts with the integral bipod).
  • The way random firearm maintenance stats are rolled for firearms in the game now depends on where they have been found, instead of being the same roll for every situation.
    • The default roll is 2#1d100 and applies for all weapons found at random (on the floor, etc.) without an owner. These weapons may have condition (DV) and cleanliness (RV) stats anywhere between 1 and 100%.
    • Startgame weapons use the following roll: 2#2d50/2+49.
    • Weapons found in the inventory of an encounter: 2#1d100+24.
    • Weapons found in the hands of encounters during Missions and in Kennels: 2#1d100+49.
    • All weapons found in shops are always nearly brand new (99% in both stats).
    • Weapons carried by the Game Masters, Colonel Thomas Wight, and any secret event encounter, are also always near-brand new.

Version 2.5 "Extended cookie dough edition" changes

This is not MazeWorld 2.6 - Merely a big bag of additions to 2.5; that's because I did not want 2.5 to stop after 2 games. It would be sad, and I felt I didn't work as much on 2.5 as I wanted to.
So, I will call it 2.5 extended cookie dough edition (short form: v2.5+). To hell with it. (more seriously, treat it as post-2.5 additions.)

Gameplay mechanics change

Major gameplay change: 2d6 rolls to be tied per bullet fired rather than attack string

  • Using EliasBot, roll X#2d6 where X is the amount of bullets one wants to fire (EliasBot can support a maximum of 20, just roll multiple times for any amount higher than 20)
  • Valid for all fire modes, except Burst Mode - roll a 2d6 per burst instead
  • Recoil system is unchanged - roll strings will simply be grouped to make recoil checks
  • A 2 anywhere in the roll string cancels all subsequent rolls, as a malfunction occurs then.

Mushrooms

A new type of consumables: Mushrooms

  • Neither food nor medical aid, but have the properties of both, each weighing 0.1 unit per item.
  • Provide some nutrition, many of them provide medicinal(-like) effects, good or bad.
  • Require identification; when unidentified, they are differentiated by color and smell.
    • Exception: Unique-shaped mushrooms are always immediately recognized.
  • Will be found in the inventories of certain creatures, or at random, with increased chances in outside areas.

Reform of the Crafting system

  • Removal of many blueprints, reduction of the total amount of blueprints to 27
  • Abandonment of the metal/plastic/wood system - crafting shall now follow the "gather items, assemble them" model.
    • Certain existing blueprints will see their recipes changed to adapt to the new model.
    • New crafting-relevant items to serve as extra ingredients.
    • Check the updated List of blueprints for more information.
    • New crafting-only weapon: Pen gun, a Class 5 Short weapon.
    • Workshops will now sell 4 random blueprints and 4 random crafting-relevant items. They will no longer sell crafting materials nor any of the old blueprints since they will cease existing.
  • Now, all 27 blueprints are relevant for the Completionist conduct; all crafting items must be made once each at least.
  • The TURRETS crate no longer exists, it has been replaced with the COOKIES crate.
  • The CRAFT-1 crate, CRAFT-2 crate, CRAFT-3 crate have all had their contents replaced to suit the new system.

New weapons and calibers

23 new weapons, 2 new calibers, 1 new ammunition type for 40mm NATO grenade.

Class 3 weapons

Other changes

  • 1 new encounter: the Emu
  • 1 new food item: the fortune cookie
  • Many brand new secret events have been designed.
  • Maze Customs: L-Frame revolvers no longer have .454 Casull chamberings offered (incorrect size).
  • Speedloader system to be reformed, will be similar in nature to the cartridge holder system
  • Hakutaku lose their ability to create a wound-curing potion, but instead gain a handbag as standard equipment, and 1d8 random mushrooms inside of it.
  • All variants of wizards and magicians now have a standard handbag, and a varying amount of mushrooms depending on their level:

Post-2.5 changes

Fixes

  • The Taurus Raging Bull M444 now correctly has an integrated muzzle brake instead of no standard accessory.
  • Lifted dual wielding restrictions on the Smith ＆ Wesson Model 500 and the Hellsing Arms .454 Casull 'Joshua'; they can be dual wielded like other Class 3 weapons from now on.
  • .22 Long Rifle damage table was modified: 21/21/11 6/1/0/0 LDV-1.
  • .32 ACP damage table was modified: 23/22/16 8/1/0/0 LDV+0. It is no longer the weakest firearm cartridge of the game; that title now belongs to .22 Long Rifle.
  • Cartridge holders are no longer treated like magazines tied to a single weapon, and can now be used to reload other single-action revolvers (if the calibers match, of course) just as quickly, even if the size of the holder doesn't match the weapon's capacity.
  • Certain ammunition types (+P, +P+, +P++, TPD, XPD, EAP and XAP) now correctly cause accelerated durability and reliability loss to the firearms shooting them.
    • +P, TPD and EAP : -2 DV/RV points per shot
    • +P+, XPD and XAP: -4 DV/RV points per shot
    • +P++: -8 DV/RV points per shot
  • The Sodium nitrite antidote changed names, and became the Universal antidote, to reflect its ability to counter all forms of poisoning. Effects are unchanged.
  • The Springfield M14 can no longer mount the M84 scope, but it may now accept the Telescopic sight (5-15x) and the Aimpoint CompM2 reflex sight.

Additions

  • A new type of cover: the Sandbag nest. 64 HP, LDV-3.
  • The Scope mode ability received an extension, called Surgical strike, which works in the following way. See article for more details.
  • Steroid rage now has an additional effect. While the effect lasts, any melee attacks that successfully hit the target are treated as critical successes, with the according @critwin effects being applied.
  • The Startgame questions were modified:
    • Many of the answers now give out different rewards.
    • Several questions and their answers were modified, certain answers were re-written, and one question was removed.
  • Banks are now a scripted event, and will appear every 50 rooms.

2.5 changes

Total event count: 6321 (+158)

New feature: Limb damage system

The limb damage system introduces a new statistic, and a new way to hurt and be hurt during combat. Every limb of the body is given health points, and as the contestant (and his/her allies and enemies) progress and battle, they may get hurt, and will suffer ailments from their injuries if they aren't treated.

  • This system introduces new medical aids (the First Aid Kit (FAK) and the Field Surgery Kit (FSK)), a new vital statistic, the Limb Damage Value (or LDV) and its modifiers, which affect the Limb Damage Roll, conducted every time someone gets hurt.
  • The limb damage system only applies to humans. Humanoid youkai and other creatures are not concerned.
  • A new limb group has been added: Hips.
    • Alongside the new limb damage system, hips can also be broken and wounded. "Hips" is the 11th limb group.
    • NOTE: Despite there are now 11 limb groups, the Bleeding percentage cannot exceed 100%, for fairly obvious reasons.
  • Several existing bionic implants have been given additional effects, such as increasing the max HP of certain limbs.
  • New secondary effects have been designed to provide appropriate ailments, such as Limping, and Crippled.

New feature: Firearm maintenance

Another new feature in an effort of improving realism and inventory management, this new feature introduces two new concepts for the contestant's firearms: Durability and Reliability, which are the focal points of firearm maintenance.

  • Durability is a statistic representing the physical integrity of the firearm. The Durability Value, or DV, is a numerical notation which can be either a negative or a positive number - the higher it is, the more durable the weapon.
    • A damaged weapon is less accurate and more fragile. Repairs must be performed in a Workshop regularly to ensure weapons do not get worn.
  • Reliability is a statistic representing the capability of the firearm to function in adverse conditions; specifically, without cleaning. The Reliability Value, or RV, is just like DV; a negative or a positive number; the higher, the longer a weapon can go without being cleaned.
    • A new item is introduced: the Gun Cleaning Kit (GCK), a 1 unit item which allows contestants to clean their firearms and replenish Reliability points. A single GCK can be used up to 3 times before depletion.
    • Workshops may also naturally clean a firearm after it has been repaired.
  • A player may not know the precise Durability and Reliability scores of their firearms (they are only given a vague descriptor), unless they possess an ICIS. The ICIS can give information on a firearm's condition, and give accurate percentage readouts (2 decimal numbers).
    • The GM however, may not disclose the precise numerical values, which would reveal exactly how many shots are left until a firearm breaks or locks up in grime.
  • Speccing now includes firearm maintenance - weapons found randomly, or in the hands of other beings, may have variable Durability and Reliability.
  • More information, and full DV/RV tables for every weapon, on this article: Firearm maintenance

New feature: Initiative system

The Initiative System was designed out of a desire of changing the dynamics of a typical MazeWorld fight, which favored too unfairly the player, for the contestant would always start first, and what could slow him/her down was easily avoidable.

The Initiative system is based on a new statistic, the Initiative Score, or IS, which is pegged on the weight of weapons, or simply an attributed value for other attacks. The concept behind the Initiative system is simple: the order of passage of encounters every turn depends on how fast they are, and speed is tied to how heavy their weapons (or how slow their attacks) are. In other words, the fastest go first.
This system no longer rewards the simplistic and exclusive use of highly powerful, but also very heavy weapons, to win fights, but instead puts more emphasis on weapon management and speed, as well as tactics. To put it simply: one must find the right balance between a powerful weapon and a fast weapon, with weapons capable of both being highly sought for.

The way the Initiative system functions is explained in detail in this section.

  • New type of object in the Mazes: Containers. The Mazes' equivalent of treasure chests... MazeWorld style, of course.
    • New type of Key item, the description of which will be linked on the Containers page: Lockpicking kit, which enables the Lockpicking ability.
    • New type of Key item, the description of which will be linked on the Containers page: Keys.

The additions changed the total roomstyle count to 430, and the total event count to 6163.

Changes and fixes

  • Parallar coins are no longer made out of gold, but out of aircraft aluminium.
  • All belt-fed firearms are now managed similarly to non-belt-fed firearms; box and belt links are automatically collected after firing, and it is possible to refill a belt with loose ammunition as well as remove ammo from belts, just like one would with a normal magazine. As a way of balancing it, ammo belt weight system has been slightly modified, and belts are now slightly more expensive to compensate for their ease of use. The cost now includes the box itself and the belt links.
  • Ammunition belt size changed for the TsNIITochMash PKP Pecheneg, the Saco Defense M60 and the FN Minimi - they are now respectively 100, 100 and 200 rounds (instead of respectively 200, 200 and 100)
  • The TsNIITochMash PKP Pecheneg's spare weight is now 22 units instead of being unsparable.
  • Pump-action and lever-action firearms now allow 5 shots per turn max instead of 10.
  • Both the AKMSU's and the AKS-74U's spare weights have been changed to 9 units, in lieu of 14.
  • The AMC Auto Mag's magazine capacity is now correctly listed as 7+1.
  • The Benelli M4 Super 90 is now correctly described in the game files as a semi-automatic shotgun.
  • The Heckler ＆ Koch G36C and the SIG Sauer SG552 have been moved to Class 2. All relevant changes have been made.
  • Dual-wielding and carrying a Class TW weapon are now possible without the Akimbo Mind or Akimbo Master bionic implants - without those implants however, dual-wielding now has a flat FT+2 malus and prevents the use of foregrips.
  • Added rules on dual-wielding and alternate weapon holding.
  • The Colt 9mm SMG's weight has been increased, from 5 to 9. It is also now correctly listed as having the new style UGL mount, allowing it to mount the M203A1 UGL and the Masterkey USG.
  • The Colt AR-15A2's model was modified - previously it was a Government Carbine AR6520, it is now an HBAR R6550. As such, it now has a fixed stock and 20 inch barrel, and a weight of 22 units (previously 14). It is also correctly listed as having the OLD style UGL mount, allowing it to mount the M203 UGL.
  • Several explosives have been significantly buffed, to respond to complaints about their relative ineffectiveness.
  • The General Motors M3 'Grease Gun' and the MAT-49 are now correctly listed as capable of automatic fire only, instead of being select-fire (semi and auto).
  • Shrine gifts given by the gods is now controlled by a new EliasBot command: @Godgifts. They are pre-determined and randomly rolled.
  • Missing event in the event list fixed - the total event count is now correctly displayed as 6139.
  • Description of Heroin in the game files now correctly lists "FT+2" instead of the erroneous "FT+4".
  • The Winchester Model 1887 is now correctly listed as a sawn-off shotgun.
  • The TsNIITochMash PKP Pecheneg's bipod is now listed as integrated rather than standard.
  • The Browning BDA has been replaced by the famous and classic Hi-Power. All relevant changes have been made as well.
  • Beretta 93R now correctly feed Beretta 92 series mags instead of proprietary mags. As such, Beretta 93R magazines have been removed from the game.
  • To compensate and keep the amount of events the same, a new type of magazine has been introduced: the STANAG 60-round casket magazine, and will fit in all STANAG-compatible firearms.

Meta changes

Due to the inclusion of new variety of grenades for grenade launchers, caliber names for those grenades will change and include sub-variations, much like 12 gauge and its individual variants.

New weapons

As always, new weapons to add to the ever-growing list, in order to further refine variety.

New ammunition types

As noted above in the Meta changes, certain calibers will receive new types of ammunition, and existing ones will be renamed.

40mm NATO grenades

Existing 40x46mm grenade becomes M386 HE.

New types of ammunition introduced:

  • M576 buckshot - Fires 20 pellets of #3 buckshot, which is smaller than 12 gauge #00 buckshot. Although each pellet is individually less powerful than double-aught, there are far more pellets and a potential to cause more damage.
  • M651 tear gas - Similar to the M7A3 hand grenade, but in a 40mm NATO grenade.
  • M715 smoke - Similar to the M18 hand grenade, but in a 40mm NATO grenade.
40mm caseless grenades

Existing VOG-25 becomes VOG-25 HE

New types of ammunition introduced:

  • VOG-25P jumping grenade - Is similar to regular VOG-25, but has an additional, smaller charge which causes the grenade to bounce or seem to "jump" before exploding, resulting in an airburst explosion. This grenade has the ability to bypass cover and hit targets behind as if cover was never there.
  • Gvozd tear gas - Similar to the M7A3 hand grenade, but in a 40mm caseless grenade.
  • GRD-100 smoke - Similar to the M18 hand grenade, but in a 40mm caseless grenade.
43mm VGM-93 grenades

Existing VGM-93 becomes VGM-93.100 HEI.

New types of ammunition introduced:

12 gauge belted

Declined in two versions: the existing one is renamed CAWS buckshot. A second, new one, will be introduced as the CAWS saboted slug, and is the CAWS equivalent to the 12 gauge slug.

New encounters

  • The SRT Guard (Special Response Team), a type of Maze Guard with Maze Soldier style weaponry which would work as the Mazes' SWAT equivalent. It would be the hierarchic superior of Guard Sergeants, but still be under the Guard Chief.

Other new features

  • Vault rooms can now lead to a new shop type: the Bank. The vaults in vault rooms have also been made impenetrable and can no longer be opened by hacking a keypad; as said keypad has now disappeared. Vaults may only be operated by a banker, under the fingerprint/heartbeat sensor system already in use in hiring bureaus.
  • A new ability: Waiting in rooms in order to wait for possible encounters to come in the room the contestant is currently in. A standard 2d6 roll is prompted, and depending on the roll result, the roomstyle, and the contestant's Wanted Level, varying types of encounters can come in. The ability can be triggered only once per room, but has no cooldown period.
Banks
  • Banks are a brand new shop type, tied to the vault room roomstyle. They are not scripted.
  • A contestant can open a bank account in one.
  • A contestant can deposit and withdraw money from their account, as well as move money from and/or to shop credits, in the shop type of their choice, and even if they never previously had credit in the shop before. This allows for better flow of the contestant's money and increases the degree of management of their wealth.
  • A contestant can also deposit and withdraw objects and valuables, which are then taken to a vault and kept.
  • No withdrawal fees, no item keeping fees, and no taxes.
  • Bank services can be partially accessed over the phone using the appropriate phone number, so that a contestant can manage their money from anywhere. However, evidently, it doesn't make item management possible.
  • Contestants can use some of the money they have on their account to transfer it to another Mazes resident's account. This can be used, for example, to officially hire someone, and is now the preferred way over simply handing cash in person.

Changes in gameplay mechanics

  • Minor gameplay mechanic change: an expansion of the cover taking system, which allows a contestant to open fire WHILE taking cover, but with a FT+2 malus. Shooting while taking cover evidently nulls stealth shot as well. A possible further expansion of this mechanic may include the ability to shoot in the same way while trying to escape a room, also with the FT+2 malus. (Again this needs testing to see if the malus is adequate)
  • Silencers will lose their FT-1 ability, and will only be useful for stealth.

Post-2.3 fixes

  • Meta: Purged the "Real-life data" section of all firearm articles, and made it unnecessary to write one for any subsequent ones, in an effort of speeding article writing.
  • Right door Endgame has been rewritten. The right door choice now leads to a final, difficult adventure. The FinalN, FinalA and FinalT endings have been altered. (Pending modifications on the wiki!)
  • Certain weapons have now been made compatible with the Leupold DeltaPoint:
  • The Heckler ＆ Koch MP5/40A2's weight is changed to 9 (previously: 5).
  • Maze Customs fixes and additions:
    • For balance reasons, there is now a cap on how many custom rounds can be ordered, which is either 60 rounds OR a full ammo belt.
    • Overpressure ammunition can now be ordered for handgun calibers only instead of all handgun and rifle calibers.
    • Three new ammo mods are now proposed: Segmented, Armor-Piercing (AP), and Hollow-Point (HP).
    • New modification type for 1911SS, 1911DS, L-Frame and Glock families: Barrel material upgrade. This service proposes upgrades in what material the barrel of those handguns are made of, which negates some of the negative effects of overpressure ammunition.
  • Slightly fixed the damage tables of 7.62x54mm R, 7.62x39mm .454 Casull and 7.62x51mm NATO.
    • 7.62x54mm R is now slightly more powerful against Light and Hardskin.
    • 7.62x39mm is now more powerful against Hardskin, and slightly more against Kevlar-2.
    • .454 Casull was made slightly more powerful against Naked and Light but slightly less against Hardskin.
    • 7.62 NATO is now slightly more powerful against all ACs except HEV.
  • Muzzle brakes now have a far different effect, replacing the old one as it was deemed inappropriate and out of place. The new effect is: Decreases Recoil level by 1.

  • Bipods
  • Foregrips
  • Muzzle brakes

The way they function will be both described in detail on the Recoil and Weapon accessory pages. Several weapons of the game will be made compatible, or even come standard with those accessories, retroactively, which will introduce a new dimension of loadout strategy.

Special thanks in advance to:

    • Player Eris (famous for Kaguya Houraisan and Eris Lilium) for giving me info about the Bad News rifle. It truly came as a very Mazeworld-ish weapon to me and was missing from our weapon roster. Thanks, Eris!
    • Player Selisona (Snow Winters, Aoi Kikuchi) for further weapon propositions and suggestions, some of which made it in the planned additions. Thansk to you too!
    • Mr. Bryan Lester of Matebafan.com for his very educational and informative website about the Mateba auto-revolvers and his very kind e-mail, which was helpful in helping me decide implementing the MTR-8 in the Mazes.

Maze Customs

The Maze Customs atelier is an extension to engineering workshops. Engineers, which are also by job and nature, gunsmiths, are now proposing a new service: firearm customization. As it is an extension of engineering workshops and not a stand-alone shop, the Maze Customs service will be readily available in all workshops, on top of the usual crafting services.

This service offers:

  • Customization of pre-existing firearms that are part of a "family" to fit the user's needs
    • Those families are: 1911 Single Stack, 1911 Double Stack, Glock, L-Frame revolver, MP5, AR-15, Remington 700, Black Arrow
  • Ammunition overpressure service, which will increase the power of firearm cartridges at the cost of reliability and increased risks. This service does not apply to the following weapons: Weapons firing 12 gauge, 12 gauge belted, Golden 4.2mm bullet, any grenade launcher, any rocket launcher.
  • Barrel rechambering into other calibers, along with manufacture of custom magazines and speedloaders
  • For revolvers, various cylinders allowing varying capacities, typically between 5 and 8 shots
  • Rail and scope mount installation
  • Auto-sear conversions, select-fire switches, and trigger groups
  • Barrel length conversions
  • Barrel/stock configurations
  • Visual and cosmetic modifications, such as color schemes, engravings, and more

WWII vintage weapons, strange and delicious Russian weaponry, mini sniper rifles, pistols with snazzy (and 100% legit) names, hand cannons, guns in under-represented calibers, new ways to say "hello" with shrapnel, and more.

New Class 3 weapons

New Class 4 weapons

  • (image) RGD-5 grenade - Fragmentation grenade

New calibers

Two brand new firearm calibers, as well as a selection of weapons for each, to expand on Mazeworld's already extensive collection. There's also a new bow arrow type.

.454 Casull

(image) .454 Casull - Developed by Dick Casull and Jack Fulmer in 1957, from the .45 Colt, of which it is a longer version capable of withstanding much greater pressures. It results in a far more powerful cartridge, suitable for defense against bears... among other things.

.454 Casull revolvers may also shoot .45 Colt.

A selection of 4 firearms in .454 Casull:

  • Exclusive, crafting-only Class 3 weapons - (image) Hellsing Arms .454 Casull 'Joshua' - Semi-automatic pistol, box magazine (7+1 rounds)
    • Due to the very long barrel (pistol length is 36 cm), it has an innate FT-1 bonus.
    • Requires the Joshua blueprint
    • New crafting items required for building it: Long TiN barrel, Long pistol slide, Long pistol frame, .454 Casull pistol magazine (and .454 Casull ammunition, though it can be built successfully without)

7.92x57mm Mauser

(image) 7.92x57mm Mauser - Developed by the German Rifle Testing Commission in 1903, and adopted by the German Military in 1905, it is also sometimes called 8mm Mauser, or 8x57mm IS. It was Germany's main service cartridge during both World Wars, but still is today a popular military and hunting cartridge.

A selection of 5 firearms in 7.92mm Mauser:

  • Class 1 - (image) Mauser Karabiner 98k - Bolt-action rifle, internal magazine (5 rounds, stripper clip)
  • Class 1 - (image) Mauser MG42 - Automatic light machine gun (50 round belt)
  • Class 1 - (image) Rheinmetall FG42 - Select-fire battle rifle, box magazine (20+1 rounds)
  • Class 1 - (image) Walther Gewehr 43(W) - Semi-automatic rifle, box magazine (10+1 rounds)
  • Class 1 - (image) Zastava M76 - Semi-automatic sniper rifle, box magazine (10+1 rounds)

New arrow type

Explosive arrows. Can only be obtained via crafting, using the XArrows blueprint.

  • Relevant crafting item required: Bottle of picric acid
  • Explosive arrows, similarly to FRAG-12, only cause localized explosions that don't cause splash damage.

MazeWorld 2.1 changes

Event type reorganization

  • Event types will be balanced and made fairer to each other. This will ensure variety as event types will be given roughly the same chances to appear behind every door the contestant will pass through. Stats showed that before 2.1, encounters and weapons (as of 2.0 rev8) dominated as the most common event types, respectively at 26% and 18%, while other items were made statistically rare and difficult to obtain (Bionics: 1%, Crafting items, 4%, Clothing and armor, 8%).

Gameplay changes

Clothing and armor damage system modified

Updated article: Protection chart

  • Every piece of clothing now has a Damage counter, which begins at 4 points for all new and undamaged clothes (except in certain cases).
  • A piece of clothing can be damaged at varying rates depending on the damage type and clothing proofs.
    • PROOF: No damage on clothing nor user
    • Resistant: User takes normal damage, clothing loses 0.1 unit per hit
    • Not resistant: User takes normal damage, clothing loses 1 unit per hit.
  • Bullet-type damage can now damage clothing properly, at a rate of 0.01 units
  • Fire-type and Special-type always damage at a rate of 1 unit per hit as there is no resistance available for those damage types.
    • NOTE: While it is not normally possible to have clothes repaired, it is possible to wish for clothing repair.
  • A new Secondary effect is introduced: Bullet-proof; Bullet-proof clothing makes the affected piece of clothing to not suffer damage from Bullet-type attacks.

Amulets now have positive effects when worn

  • Amulet of the North: Maximum Pain threshold increased by +10%, Maximum Bleeding counter increased by +2, Maximum Poison counter increased by +2.
  • Amulet of the East: Strength increase x2, Pain sensitivity decrease x2.
  • Amulet of the West: All shops and paid services propose a -10% buying discount and a +10% sell value. Is applied to the total checkout before transaction, not every individual item.
  • Amulet of the South: Max damage counter +1 on all clothing and armor worn/spared until leaving equipment or backpack of the contestant. (Clothes with less than 1 unit will be destroyed in this case)

Complete reform of the weapon accessory system

  • Introduction of a magazine management system; now players will be able to collect and store magazines for their firearms, and will have to keep track of ammunition in each. They are now separate items, and may be bought from relevant shops.
  • Replacement of the scopes and sights by a system similar to the UGLs: a selection of specific models, which are compatible each with their own selection of weapons.
  • Introduction of a new accessory type: reflex sights. Reflex sights offer two bonuses; either FT-1 against HEAD, FACE, EXTREMITY and WEAK POINT body groups, or the possibility to attack two different targets with the same weapon (but at normal accuracy instead of with a bonus).
  • Silencers are now made by caliber instead of specific weapons; a .45 ACP silencer will fit on any .45 ACP weapon

Introduction of a 2-player co-op system

  • Two players will now be able to roam the Mazes together ; double the firepower, double the fun!
  • A brand new co-op mission set introduced, specifically for co-op mode
  • While in co-op mode, there is no ally system to compensate.

Additions and new features

  • New gameplay feature: Temerity roll. Rolled at the author's discretion during games, it is rolled after an intelligent or otherwise sapient creature's Pain levels reaches a high amount (70+%). The purpose of this roll is to determine how the wounded target will react, from being knocked out of the fight early, to a burning wish of retaliating even harder.
  • New gameplay feature and EliasBot command: @wpnspec. This command basically randomizes the accessories found on armed encounters such as Soldiers, activist Youkai, and such, if the combination given is applicable. This command ensures that NPCs never carry always-vanilla weapons and allows for more colorful weapon combinations to be encountered.
  • New gameplay feature: Enemies no longer attack one at a time. Depending on their strength perk, if they appear in groups, they may attack in:
    • Waves of 3 for WEAK-perk encounters
    • Waves of 2 for normal encounters
    • 1 as usual for everything else.
  • New gameplay feature: Introduction of a telephone network inside the Mazes, as well as a full phone number assignation system, complete with emergency numbers. Of course, to be able to call, the contestant must first get a hold of the new items: the mobile phone and batteries for it.
    • Maze Citizens, Engineers, Guards, Soldiers, Students, Head maids and Chief butlers will be expected to carry those phones, with varying energy left in those batteries.
    • It is advised to collect batteries for the phone if one intends to call often, as a single battery has only enough energy for six calls.
  • Workshops now sell the following key items, if availability allows: Flashlight bracelet, Lighter, Mobile phone and phone batteries. They may also sell crafting relevant items.
  • 10 new blueprints, four of which are used to craft brand new weapons, and the remaining six, exclusive new clothing and armor.
  • 5 new backpack types:
    • Il Duce webbing ; Capacity 15 - 4 backup weapon pouches which can each hold 3 units + a 4-unit ammo pouch
    • RPG carrier vest ; Capacity 25 - A 12-unit ammo pouch which can only contain rocket launcher ammunition
    • Medic LBE/Pack ; Capacity 60 - A 4-unit Bandage only pouch + an 8-unit meds pouch.
    • Eagle Recon backpack ; Capacity 65 - A sling which can carry any Class 1 or 2 weapon (as long it's sparable) + a 6-unit ammo pouch
    • TIMS double pack ; Capacity 90 - An 8-unit ammo pouch + A 4-unit consumables pouch + A 9-unit backup weapon pouch.

Other changes

  • Human allies will have the same full statistics as the contestant's. Humanoid youkai and other creatures keep the reduced stats format.
  • Rocket launchers (RPG-7, RPG-29, SMAW), as well as the Milkor MGL grenade launcher, will be pre-equipped with proprietary, non-removable scopes, thus giving their users the ability to use Scope mode for increased accuracy.
  • Minor modifications on existing weapons:
  • Citizens now carry an extra full magazine (or equivalent) for their weapons, if applicable, ON TOP of their random equipment.
  • The Startgame questionnaire now gives slightly different rewards to reflect the new changes.

2.0 rev8 changes

Several new firearms, new calibers, 1 new grenade type and 5 new Class 5 weapons, as well as certain gameplay changes to accomodate the new weapons.

Fixes

Gameplay changes

  • Class 5 weapons can now be used to do combo attacks: Class 5 Short weapons can hit up to 3 times, and Class 5 long, up to 2 times. The player will simply have to roll a 2d6 as many times as he/she wants to hit. As with martial arts, at the first failed roll the combo stops.
  • DOYAPNK crate features a Model 29 revolver to replace the Taurus Raging Bull.
  • Revolvers chambered in .357 Magnum may also interchangeably load .38 Special ammunition.
  • Revolvers chambered in 10mm Auto may also interchangeably load .40 S＆W ammunition.

Loading of multiple ammo types in a single weapon as implied above is similar to that of 12 gauge shotguns; any amount of compatible ammunition can be loaded in any order in the concerned weapon (for example, a .357 Magnum revolver with a 6-round cylinder could load 6x .357 Magnum, or 6x .38 Special, or a sequence of 2x .357 2x .38 2x .357, and so on...)

Natural and optional accessories for the listed weapons are in parentheses following their name.

Gameplay changes

  • Graveyard room reform: Now every graveyard room has, alongside the graves, a Duplica Bot. As the contestant enters the graveyard, a ghost contestant will rise from its grave, and possess the Bot. The result is that the living contestant will fight a Duplica version of a dead one, complete with its entire equipment (clothing and armor + weapons) at time of death. The Bot must be defeated twice (2x 100% Pain threshold) before it is destroyed - as it does in Mission A9, it only counts as 1 kill.

    • Flechette shells (shell color: blue) - Similar technically to standard buckshot, but are loaded with 20 1-inch long flechettes. It offers better penetration and a flatter damage curve.
    • FRAG-12 shells (shell color: black) - Similar technically to standard slugs, FRAG-12 shells propel a miniature, fin-stabilized rocket which explodes violently upon impact.
